Have you lost something at school? Good News! The attendance office might have your stuff. On 3/20 and 3/21, all missing items will be on display for you to come claim.

High School Conferences will be held on March 20th and March 21st. Appointments are available between 12:30 PM to 2:45 PM. Wednesday, March 20th will not be a late start since it is an early release. In addition, there are no evening conference sessions.

High School Conference time slots are 15 minutes with any teacher and will be used for intervention focused on students with grades lower than 70%. Conferences will focus on support needed to improve the student’s grade in the course, concerns of the family or student, etc. We as a building agree to proactively communicate with families of our 70% or lower students and students who may need academic and/or behavioral support to finish the year.

How to Request a Conference

All appointments will be entered into Skyward Conference Scheduler. (Teachers also have access to create appointments.) Scheduling is open and will remain open until Thursday, March 21 at noon.
